An unloaded handgun
Use the handgun you train with, unloaded, with a matching laser training cartridge. Keep live ammunition out of the room and follow the maker’s dry-fire guidance.
What you need
The kit for a session.
Peregrine turns a laser training cartridge, a printed target, and your iPhone into a scored dry-fire session. Most of the setup is familiar equipment you may already own.
A red laser training cartridge
Choose a red laser training cartridge in the correct caliber. It flashes on the target when the striker drops, and that flash is what Peregrine scores.
A printed Peregrine target
Print a target from the app on standard letter paper. Keep the QR code and black corner markers sharp, flat, and uncovered; black-and-white printing is fine.
An iPhone with Peregrine
Peregrine uses the iPhone camera to find the target and detect laser hits. Allow camera access when the app asks so it can start a session.
A stable phone stand
A stable phone stand or adjustable tripod holds the camera near target height, keeps the phone still, and makes framing easier.
Reset gear
A TRT dry-fire insert, dry-fire magazine, or trigger-reset device can reduce the need to rack the slide between repetitions.
